Describe two conflicting accounts without judging credibility
A draft report that keeps each account attributed and lists unresolved disagreements, with an attribution matrix.

Gemini Notebook: cited matrix and draft, you check
Gemini Notebook builds a cited attribution matrix and drafts the report. You check both against the originals and decide.

Collect and label the sources
Use:You
Collect the two accounts and any agreed factual record; write down your constraints and label each item with author and date where known.
Check
Check each item is the intended one and is labelled. Check your organisation's rules for confidential material before uploading; this record does not establish that this is permitted.
Build the attribution matrix
Use:Gemini Notebook
Upload the labelled sources to a notebook and ask for an attribution matrix separating each account, with a citation for each item.
Details
What to paste into the tool
Task: Align agreed facts, disputed claims and absent evidence. Produce: Attribution matrix separating each account. Use only the ticked sources and cite the source for each item. Write NOT STATED where the sources do not say. Do not add facts or judgments.
Check the matrix against the sources
Use:You
Check the attribution matrix against the original sources and correct it.
Check
Check attribution and confirm the report is not an investigative finding.
Draft the report
Use:Gemini Notebook
In the same notebook, ask for a first draft report preserving attribution and unresolved disagreements.
Details
What to paste into the tool
Task: Draft report preserving attribution and unresolved disagreements. Use only the checked matrix and the sources in this notebook. Keep source attribution and keep missing facts marked NOT STATED. Add no new facts and no credibility judgement.
Compare the draft and decide
Use:You
Compare the draft with the original inputs, keep open decisions listed, then accept or reject it.
Check
Check no disputed claim becomes a shared fact and no unsupported credibility judgement appears; edit the draft by hand where it differs. Preparation only: nothing is sent, published, signed, shared or changed in a live account.

Compare the two approaches
Option A: Gemini Notebook: cited matrix and draft, you check
Best when: You have uploadable documents and want citations to check.
What it does: AI builds the cited matrix and drafts; you check both.
Strong at: Answers cite passages from your own sources.
Limit: Creative requests may be declined in chat; edit by hand then.
Free plan: Yes
Option B: Notion AI: builds the matrix and drafts on your page
Best when: Your material already lives on a Notion page.
What it does: AI builds the matrix and drafts; you check both.
Strong at: AI block works on the same page as your sources.
Limit: Structured matrices are not a documented use; check each row.
Free plan: Paid plan needed
Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.
Verify attribution and confirm the report is not an investigative finding.
No disputed claim becomes a shared fact and no unsupported credibility judgement appears. Compare the artefact with original inputs and retain unresolved decisions.
Missing facts and open decisions are listed, not filled in.
Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.
What still needs checking
Whether the source material may be uploaded or pasted into any of these tools is for the owner to confirm.
Plan and region availability of each tool is not checked on the cited pages.
Whether each AI step handles this material well is not yet checked; sample it on non-sensitive text first.
